dylan stood at the bar and sighed. she wasn’t ready to go look for the woman she was matched with yet. she was really fucking pissed that she hadn’t been matched with multiple women even after saying that monogamy wasn’t her thing. so, here she was, six shots in front of her and casually working her way through them when she heard xander’s voice. she smirked at him. “you mean my mandatory monogamous partner? like fuck man, why even ask that in their stupid interview when i can’t get like… the six wives i deserve, you know?” she jokingly said before downing her third short.

“what about you? found yours?” she wondered.

xander felt a grin come to his lips when the woman complained about monogamy, it was clear they were going to get along. “don’t get me started, the whole fact that we’re being forced into a relationship in the first palce, there goes all my dreams of being the next hugh hefner.” he said, mostly joking as he grabbed a shot of his own and downed it. “nah, but i can’t say i’m actually in a hurry, i’m sure they’ll show up eventually and hunt me down, ready to tie the knot and be my eternal ball and chain.” 

ezekiel was excited to meet up with his match. he knew leah. she was a christian, though not anglican and they had been at multiple charity events together. they had talked and he’d always found her to be very nice to talk to and quite in line with his beliefs regarding the world. he wondered if they had the same views on marriage. he wondered if she’d even want to marry an anglican. 

he spotted her and with a big smile, he walked over to her. “you look stunning tonight, leah.” he told her as he stopped next to her, keeping a respectful distance. it was a little awkward to suddenly be told that they should be in a relationship but he figured, looking around at some more questionable women, that he had gotten assigned the very best one for him. 

closed starter for @indulgvnce

leah had been shocked when she’d opened her letter to find the name was actually one she knew. he was a priest, and despite their difference in beliefs, it was a giant relief. she knew what kind of man he was, and she prayed that he would want her. they’d always gotten along, and despite her being a bit younger, she knew that her lack of experience wouldn’t be an issue for a man like him. 

the flowling gown hanging from her body her eyes lit up as Ezekiel approached. blushing as him compliment she let her eyes wander a bit. “so do you.” she said softly as she bit her lower lip lightly. truth be told, she was kind of happy with her match, and a part of her knew that they could be happy together. “would you like to dance?” she asked softly, figuring breaking the ice and dancing could be a good way to get to know each other a little better.  

OPEN.

     “ jesus fuckin’ hell, do i hate this.. “ he mumbled to himself as he took a quick sip of his drink. so many people surrounding him, tristian could feel the frustration & annoyance growing within him. he hated everything related to this stupid law & this stupid ball. suits were apart of his job so he couldn’t hate them but the purpose of wearing it was outright STUPID. oh, how he couldn’t wait to see his ‘match’ appear; with good luck, neither of them like this shit & they’ll be on their ways shortly. 

     he sighed in a grumpy manner before he rudely walked out to the balcony, away from the crowd. he wasn’t surprised to see another soul there, either admiring the view or escaping the scene, just like him. “ don’t like it inside? yeah, me either. too many people & not enough alcohol to deal with ‘em. “

the last thing sierra wanted to deal with was her supposed match. all he was to her so far was a name on a paper and that was already too much. after her engagement ended she’d thought she would have time to recover, to find herself, but before she knew it she was being forced to some ball to meet the man she was expected to marry. 

Turning back he bumped into someone else and chuckled. “You’d think they had the whole town her by how crowded it was in here.” he said before looking over at the girl. “find your other half yet?” @revolthqsmuses
